Genes affected
SPG7 (HGNC:11237): (SPG7 matrix AAA peptidase subunit, paraplegin) This gene encodes a mitochondrial metalloprotease protein that is a member of the AAA family. Members of this protein family share an ATPase domain and have roles in diverse cellular processes including membrane trafficking, intracellular motility, organelle biogenesis, protein folding, and proteolysis. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia 7. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1033G>A (p.A345T) alteration is located in exon 8 (coding exon 8) of the SPG7 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1033, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 345 to be replaced by a threonine (T). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Hereditary spastic paraplegia 7 Uncertain:1
Jul 08, 2023
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SPG7 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1407118). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SPG7-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs368373840, gnomAD 0.02%). This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 345 of the SPG7 protein (p.Ala345Thr).
